Amr bin Auf Al-Ansari (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: the Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) said:

"Rejoice and hope for that which will please you. By Allah, it is not poverty that I fear for you, but I fear that this world will be opened up with its wealth for you as it was opened to those before you; and you vie with one another over it as they did and eventually it will ruin you as it ruined them." [Muslim]

Commentary: We learn from this Hadith that, from the religious angle, poverty of an individual or nation is not as dangerous as its affluence. For this reason, the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) cautioned his Ummah against the consequences of abundance of wealth and warned his followers to save themselves from its evils. We witness today that all his fears have come true. The excess of wealth has made the majority of rich extremely careless about their religious obligations. It is this negligence and evasion from religion about which the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) had expressed grave fear.

Droplet of Timeless Existence

by Nudrat Siddiqui

Thy soul sits at the edge of a stream

Alone, in a solitary distance

Eyes captivating the image with the shadow of a light beam

with the stroke of the hand a formation of ripples and its existence

Upon posing at this specific abode - leaning forward to notice a mirror image

Hands filled with water trickling over the beauty of the face unlocking a cage

With each trickling droplet escaped the poison, refreshing sensation marking years of the past

The reflection mutating the remainder from first to last

A soul of dreaded hope drowning itself in the body of land,

running to dive in the range of water - flowing as a strand

with each leap it weakened

this ghostly figure could battle no more, a self - interrogation led to suspicion of the forthcoming end

revival was of no hope while distance remained

just a drop - the body was unchained

leaping to both feet, standing firmly

identity was gained, yet time fading slowly

Alone, in a solitary distance

only enough to express allegiance in the remainder of the timeless existence

weakness fallen over such revival

at ease - letting go, reaching for survival

Lost but truly foundcovered in the earth, six feet beneath the groundtime was only to lenda gift... the suspected endease you. By Allah, it is not poverty that I fear for you, but I fear that this world will be opened up with its wealth for you as it was opened to those before you; and you vie with one another over it as they did and eventually it will ruin you as it ruined them." [Muslim]
